The fall out begins after Chelsea's Champions League exit.

A Chelsea Fans Blog for Chelsea Fans 18 March @ 09:34 PM EDT
After our dismal performance on Tuesday night and as a result elimination from the Champions League the rumour mill has well and truly got into full swing. Again, the age of Chelsea's squad has come into focus as Roman Abramovich is once again set (as reported) to ring the changes at Chelsea.
If you remember when Roman came to the club he appointed Peter Keynon soon after. Click to continue reading...

‘Ballers Behaving Badly: Non-Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, Too

KICKETTE 11 March @ 02:16 PM EDT

Just when we thought cheating footballers would be hyper-sensitive to the eyes and ears and camera lenses around them, we have a trio of bad boys on the brink of relationship red cards.

Q: What do Patrice Evra, Carlos Tevez and Oliver Kahn have in common?

A: They all allegedly cheated on their significant others with blonde lady friends.

What is a "Holligan?"

A More Splendid Life 23 February @ 10:26 AM EDT
A waste of my time, or apparently a bunch of people who decided for whatever reason to go shithouse mental on the comments section of a seemingly innocuous Rumour Mill written by Paul Doyle. The readers of the Guardian continue to frighten me. I'm only doing this to keep it alive on Wikipedia because someone asked nicely. Click to continue reading...

Excuse FAIL: Ashley Cole’s Sexy Texts

KICKETTE 15 February @ 11:10 AM EDT

And... another one bites the dust. (Rio, we'll get to you in a minute.) But for now, let's examine the public relations fail that somehow advised the very married Ashley Cole to explain away sending photos of his penis to a glamour model in this manner:

He was "larking about".

Iker Casillas: The Exit Needs Work

KICKETTE 08 February @ 12:55 PM EDT

Well, what do we have here?

Spanish gossips are reporting a potentially uncomfortable morning-after walk-o'-shame situation involving our favourite goal-keeper, Iker Casillas. While the whole, factual truth of this rendezvous  including the chica's identity -  is not available for public consumption, Iker's sheepish look of guilt has us in a tizzy speculating the endless possibilities of this early afternoon gathering.

John Terry: Notes on a Scandal

KICKETTE 05 February @ 02:35 PM EDT

Digging ourselves out of the mountainous pile of tabloid reports, JT jokes, and tired "WAGs as role models" arguments, we find that yet, again, we are left with more questions than answers. Call it information overload, call it alcohol kills brain cells, we're not bothered.

John Terry: When Good Gossip Goes Bad

KICKETTE 29 January @ 03:17 PM EDT

Well, the John Terry affair allegations splashed all over the news today has really taken the jam out of our gossip-loving doughnut.

We think it's fair to say that we really would like to shove our fingers in our ears and sing "la, la, la," rather than deal with this story.

Considering we deal only in snark and footy private lives, we admit, this is unusual.

Anfield Talk 27 January @ 12:20 PM EDT
Liverpool midfielder Damien Plessis could be set for a loan switch to Serie A strugglers Lazio, Goal.com UK understands.
The 21-year-old midfielder has been on the fringes of the Reds' first team for the past three seasons, making eight appearances in that time, and manager Rafael Benitez revealed yesterday that an Italian club had made an enquiry about signing Plessis on loan. Click to continue reading...

Jose Mourinho Is Punters’ Choice For Next Liverpool Manager

Anfield Talk 16 January @ 12:27 PM EDT
Jose Mourinho would appear to be the man Liverpool fans would like to see take over from Rafa Benitez, reports bookie Paddy Power.
Whilst Kenny Dalglish, the 11/4 favourite, is also proving popular given the ease in which he could move across from his current role at the club, it is Mourinho that punters and fans appear to want to see taking over from Benitez. Click to continue reading...

TFC hopes for miracle (Mo)ves at draft

the yorkies 13 January @ 06:22 PM EDT
While on his way to Philadelphia to attend this year's SuperDraft, TFC Director of Football Mo Johnston will likely be stopping by a leper colony to do some healing as well as turning some water into wine on the flight. That is the level of miracle many TFC supporters are expecting before the draft begins as hopes are high that the ever humble Scot will be able to deal for a high pick. Click to continue reading...

United's Guardian Angel Just The Tonic?

View from Tier 3 12 January @ 06:38 AM EDT
So its all agreed that we would all like to see new recruits this transfer window. The rumour mill has been very quiet up to now but the gossip is starting to heighten on Benfica's Argentinian wing wonder Angel Di Maria.
Di Maria has had two very impressive years playing in Portugal and making his full international debut, with high praise from his manager Diego Maradona. Click to continue reading...

THE WORD: Mo looking to s-Teal Bunbury

the yorkies 11 January @ 08:00 PM EDT
------------------------------Like father, like son?
Mo Johnston must have the shakes and the cold sweats right now. The Scot has many detractors but those who do back him use his record in the MLS SuperDraft as a defence. However, with a few days to go before the 2010 draft, where he is supposed to show his wily eye for talent, Johnston and his TFC "backroom" (about two guys and a some NCAA DVD's) do not have a first round pick and only a couple of late choices at their disposal.

Stop Teasing Us With These Rumours

Follow The Boro Brick Road 22 December @ 01:01 PM EDT

Jermaine Beckford has been linked with Middlesbrough in the last 24 hours fuelling speculation that League 1's sharpest shooter will be Strachan's first permanent signing next month.

This would be great news for us if we were to grab the free-scoring forward but it looks unlikely with the 26-year-old's love affair with the Elland Road faithful.

To Mark, Happy Christmas, Love Man City XXX

Twohundredpercent 20 December @ 06:47 PM EDT

It was probably unsurprising that Manchester City should choose one of the most extraordinary weekends of the season to trump everybody else. While Liverpool supporters finally seemed to be turning on Rafael Benitez after Liverpool lost at Portsmouth, Manchester United were being given a masterclass in ecomonical football by Fulham and Chelsea were scratching and scrambling their way to a draw at West Ham United, City were playing out another mini-drama at The City of Manchester Stadium against Sunderland and then sacking their manager.

Tony Adams to St. Etienne?

Center Holds It 16 December @ 12:30 PM EDT
The Rumour Mill is rumouring that Tony Adams "has already had talks" with the Ligue 1 side St. Etienne. This would seem to scuttle New York Red Bulls' hopes to land the Professor of Defending as manager.
I don't know if I'm upset by this or not. While I'm pretty sure Adams would not have done anything to help NYRB, or ever have gotten his head round the playoff system, I do think his "presence" would have helped lure Thierry Henry. Click to continue reading...

Gold and Sullivan: Born to be Claret and Blue?

Footy Factor 15 December @ 11:41 AM EDT

It looks like the next Mike Ashley will, figuratively speaking, be in the form of a David Gold and David Sullivan combo. The rumour mill says  the Dodgy Davids have had their offer for West Ham accepted by the club's Icelandic owners.

But what do we know about these two shifty characters: Formerly owners of Birmingham City, they have a few bob, but surely not in the oligarch category.

So the red card to Alesha Clifford in the 13minute, was it deserved? It was clearly in my line of sight and yes, it was. Click to continue reading...

If he comes on board, will Vieira go to Man Utd?

The January transfer will be a busy one for Arsenal. That is because Wenger has no choice. Against Chelsea and Sunderland, Carlos Vela and Eduardo proved they are not the answers to RVP and Bendtner.

Football gossips are passing around the rumour that which manager is on borrowed time at his club after getting the chairman's daughter pregnant?
